Introduction
First released in the version 6.0.2, it is one of several new features aiming to speed up the creation of dashboards with same visual style.
Very often, a dashboard will have a visual standard, a set of colors, size, font, etc. that will be consistent across the pages. Formatting each and every datablock can be painful if the dashboard has too many of them.
To make this task easier, we added the Format Painter capability to some of our datablocks.
Prerequisite
A visually styled Cube Report or Status datablock
Using Format Painter
1. Build a Cube Report.
2. Style the Cube Report as per your requirements.
3. Build another Cube Report.
4. Click on the Format Painter icon from first Cube Report.
5. Click on the header area of the Cube Report where you want to apply the format.
The style of the first Cube Report is now applied on the second Cube Report.
Format Painter can also be used on other similar datablocks.
